#140 - A Christmas Carol - Part Two

ERIK IRELAND
About this episode

A sleepy reading of part two of the Charles Dickens holiday classic. We'll have another chapter each week in December until we finish with chapter five on Christmas Eve. 

I'm so grateful to all of you for helping me live out my dreams in 2021. I wrote about it in the blog this week and posted a video about the importance of dreams at https://www.listentosleep.com/blog/dreams-do-come-true/

If the podcast helps you sleep, would you consider supporting it with $1 a month? You'll get new episodes a day earlier with no ads or introductions, and you'll be helping me to get closer to realizing my dream of having Listen To Sleep be my full-time endeavor. You can join or find more information at https://patreon.com/listentosleep

Sleep well.💜
